The backs remain the same with Owen Marshall continuing on the wing and Mike Stephens starting at fullback. Rhys Griffiths starts again at scrum half.
In the pack there are two changes: Mike Catris returns at hooker after an injury lay off and Alex Luff returns to the boiler house after being injured in the win over Tredegar. On the bench Haval Ibrahim takes his place after he also recovered from a pre-Christmas injury.
“The long lay off between games wasn’t what we wanted after we hit a bit of form but the squad has trained well and nearly everyone is fully fit and raring to take on the New Year challenges” commented head coach Chris Ower.
“Blackwood will be tough to beat on their own patch but we are confident that we can put in another performance following the win over Newbridge” added manager Gavin Walker.
